New Air, Inc. (“We” or the “Company”) is a company incorporated in the State of Maryland in July 2009, that was created for and acquired a
company called Baby’s Breath Ltd. an Israeli company founded in 2001 by a group of leading physicians and highly experienced professionals that developed a patented medical devise for the treatment of respiratory diseases.
We, through our subsidiary Baby's Breath are marketing our products mainly in Europe while contemplating the development of new products that are based on the same technology, for wider markets and applications including:
1. Frame and disposable hoods re-engineered for easy replacement of single-use hoods for use in institutions,
2. Product for senior adults,
3. Ultrasonic (extra silent) compressor,
4. A product for use with oxygen in addition to medication.
On September 7, 2009 we acquired Baby’s Breath, Ltd. In a stock for stock trade at a 1:200 ratio whereby we issued 6,280,600 shares of our common stock for 31,403 shares in Baby’s Breath, Ltd. As a consequence, Baby’s Breath, Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company and the shareholders of Baby’s
Breath Ltd. Became 96.98% of the total shareholders in our Company.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business is subject to a number of risks, which you should be aware of before making an investment decision. These risks are disclosed more fully in this section of this prospectus titled “Risk Factors.”
The Business Opportunity
|
1. |
There is a vacuum on the inhalation market: no adequate solution is being currently offered to babies and infants. Although inhalation devices may be purchased in various designs none appropriately tailored to babies and infants’ specific needs. This large unexploited segment represents a high business potential for BabyAir. |
|
2. |
The device market is an expanding one: more than $1.3 billion was spent on ventilators, oxygen therapy systems, and airway management accessories in the United States during 2004. Growing at a healthy compound annual rate of 6.3%, sales of these products are expected to reach
more than $1.9 billion by the year 2010. |
According to a recent Kalorama research report, the US market for home ventilators and home oxygen systems in terms of manufacturers’ revenues totaled $153M in 2007. (All of these products treat a variety of respiratory illnesses including asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiolitis, COPD and pneumonia).
|
3. |
The market value is considerable: 10% of adults and 12% of children are diagnosed with asthma in the United States, and the estimated direct health care costs associated with asthma exceed $11.5 billion annually. Albuterol, one of the medicines that relieve asthma attacks, is
the seventh most commonly prescribed drug in the United States where there is about 52 million prescriptions filled for albuterol each year. |
5
The FDA has ruled that as of January 1st 2009 traditional CFC albuterol inhalers be prohibited and replaced by HFA inhalers, which are much more expensive. It is estimated that Americans will spend an additional $1.2 billion a year on three patented inhaler brands
containing the new propellant (Ventolin, ProAir and Proventil) until generic versions reach pharmacies.
We generated minimum revenues to date; we have minimal assets, and have accumulated losses in the amount of ($1,065,386). For the year ending December 31, 2008, we experienced a net loss of ($191,563). In our December
31, 2008 year-end financials, and our quarter end June 30, 2009, our auditor issued an opinion that our financial condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our principal executive office is located at Harbor City Research, Inc., 201 N. Charles Street, Suite 3900, Baltimore, MD 21201 and out telephone number is (401) 539-0400. The office of our subsidiary Baby's Breath is located at Ha'hadas Street, Bldg. #5 North Industrial Area, P.O. Box 42, Or-Akiva, Israel 30600, and our
website address is www.bbreath.com Information contained on our website shall not be deemed to be part of this prospectus.

1,242,077 shares of common stock being held by certain of our current shareholders. The shares being registered in this prospectus are held by certain shareholders. We issued shares to these shareholders via private placements in exchange for an investment in our Company or as payment for assets or services. | |
|
| |
|
This is our initial registration. There is not currently a market for our common stock. We intend to list our shares on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or OTCBB, but our stock has not been approved for trading on the OTCBB as of the date of this prospectus. We cannot determine if an active market will
develop for our common stock. Additionally, we cannot determine or predict the price at which our common stock will initially trade. The selling shareholders will sell at a price of $1.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. | |

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
We may not be able to raise sufficient capital or generate adequate revenue to meet our obligations and fund our operating expenses.
We have financed our operations through the sale of stock and through grants received from the Office of the Chief Scientist in Israel (OCS). From 2001 to date we received $931,322 in equity financing and grants from the OCS in the amount of $268,029. As of the date of this prospectus we have approximately US$130,000,
which should enable us to continue operations at our current burn rate for a period of up to 3 months from the date hereof. We need to raise additional capital in order to meet our business plan. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues to meet our obligations and develop and sustain our operations could result in reducing or ceasing our operations.
Additionally, even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors currently included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have yet to attain profitable operations.
Because we will need additional financing to fund our activities, our accountants believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern is fully dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing to continue our operational activities. The
ability to achieve profitable operations is in direct correlation to our ability to raise sufficient financing. Accordingly, our management believes that our continued existence, future expansion, and ultimate profitability is fully dependent upon raising sufficient proceeds from this offering. It is important to note that even if the appropriate financing is received, there is no guarantee that we will ever be able to operate profitably or derive any significant revenues from its operation.
There is no guarantee that we will ever operate profitably.
We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow over the next twelve (12) months. There is no guarantee that we will ever operate profitably or even receive positive cash flows from full operations.
Because we expect to incur additional losses, we will require additional financing to sustain our operation. Our Independent Auditors have expressed doubt as to our ability to remain a going concern.
We incurred a net loss of approximately $191,563 and $199,666, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and a net loss of approximately $81,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We have never earned a profit and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next 12 months. We
continue to operate on a negative cash flow basis. We have generated only minimal revenues and are still developing our planned principal operations.
9
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered in this offering. Accordingly, we will rely on pursuing alternative sources to obtain the entire amount of funding needed to fund our operations for the next 12 months. We may need additional funds to continue our operations, and such additional funds may not be available when required at attractive prices or at all. If
we are unable to obtain additional funds at reasonable rates or at all we will be required to substantially curtail our operations and could cease to exist in our current form. Our Independent Public Accounting firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our Financial Statements, that they have substantial doubt about our ability to remain a going concern.
We have financed our operations through the sale of stock and through grants received from the OCS. From 2001 to date we received $931,322 in equity financing and grants from the OCS in the amount of $268,029.
We expect to continue to depend upon outside financing to sustain our operations for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to arrange financing from third parties will depend upon our performance and market conditions. Our inability to raise additional working capital at all or to raise it in a timely manner would
negatively impact our ability to fund our operations, to generate revenues, and to otherwise execute our business plan, leading to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately forcing us to go out of business. Should this occur, the value of any investment in our securities could be adversely affected, and an investor could lose a portion of or even lose their entire investment.
Our shares of common stock are not and may never be quoted on any exchange or listing service.
Our shares of common stock are not and may never be quoted on any exchange or listing service. It may be difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.
Persons who acquire shares of our common stock will have limited liquidity or opportunity to sell their shares and may not be able to recover any funds that have been invested in our common stock.
The possible sales of shares of common stock by our selling shareholders may have a significant adverse effect on the market price of our common stock should a market develop.
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their shares immediately after they are registered. In the event that the shareholders sell some or all of their shares, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly. Potential investors may not be interested in purchasing shares of our common stock if
the selling shareholders are selling their shares of common stock. The selling of stock by the shareholders could be interpreted by potential investors as a lack of confidence in us and our ability to develop a stable market for our stock. The price of our common stock could fall if the selling shareholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock. These sales may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that
we deem appropriate because the selling shareholders may offer to sell their shares of common stock to potential investors for less than we do.
We are dependent for our success on a few key executive officers. Our inability to retain those officers would impede our business plan and growth strategies, which would have a negative impact on our business and the value of an investment.
Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our management team. We are heavily dependent on the continued services of Yossef De Levie our Chairman; Lior Carmeli our Chief Executive Officer; David Kapon our Chief Financial Officer; and Jacob Bal our Chief Technology Officer. We have entered
into employment or consulting agreements with our CEO, CFO and CTO and we plan to expand the relatively small number of executives when needed. Were we to lose one or more of these key individuals, we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which could result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We can give you no assurance that we can find satisfactory replacements
for these key individuals at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome to our company. Although we intend to issue stock options or other equity-based compensation to attract and retain employees, such incentives may not be sufficient to attract and retain key personnel.
10
We are dependent for our success on our ability to attract and retain technical personnel, sales and marketing personnel and other skilled management.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled and qualified personnel. Failure to attract and retain necessary technical, sales and marketing personnel and skilled management could adversely affect our business. If we fail to attract, train and retain sufficient
numbers of these highly qualified people, our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Lack of public company experience of our management team may put us at a competitive disadvantage.
Our management team has had no public company experience in the United States, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The individuals who now constitute our senior management have had no responsibility for managing a publicly traded
company. Such responsibilities include complying with US federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Our senior management may not be able to implement and effect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements. Our failure to do so could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and result in the deterioration of our business.
New rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our common stock.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of the recent and currently proposed changes in the rules and regulations which govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications from executive officers
and requirements for financial experts on the board of directors. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in the issuance of a series of new rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Further,
certain of these recent and proposed changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the Company and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business could be adversely affected.
Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective, and our independent auditors may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business.
If we become a publicly traded company, as intended, we will be subject to various regulatory requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We, like other public companies, would then incur additional expenses and, to a lesser extent, diversion of our management’s time, in our efforts to comply with Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regarding internal controls over financial reporting.
We have not yet evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting in order to allow management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the SEC, which we collectively refer
to as “Section 404”. We will be required to include our Section 404 management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting beginning with our second annual report filed after we become publicly registered, and we will be required to include our independent auditor’s attestation on management’s report on internal control over financial reporting beginning with our annual report for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
11
We intend to comply with the Section 404, Management Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting , beginning with our second annual report filed after we become publicly registered. However, our lack of familiarity with Section 404 may unduly divert management’s time and resources in executing our business
plan. If, in the future, management identifies one or more material weaknesses, or our external auditors are unable to attest that our management’s report is fairly stated or to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, this could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, have an adverse effect on our stock price and/or subject us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock and we cannot assure you that an active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. Even if a market develops, you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your
shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock and no such market may ever develop. While we intend to seek and obtain quotation of our common stock for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) during the third quarter of 2009, there is no assurance
that our application will be approved. An application for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board must be submitted by one or more market makers who agree to sponsor the security and who demonstrate compliance with SEC Rule 15(c)2-11 before initiating a quote in a security on the OTC Bulletin Board. In order for a security to be eligible for quotation by a market maker on the OTC Bulletin Board, the security must be registered with the SEC and the company must be current in its required filings with the
SEC. There are no listing requirements for the OTC Bulletin Board and accordingly no financial or minimum bid price requirements. We intend to cause a market maker to submit an application for quotation to the OTC Bulletin Board before December 31, 2009.
Even if our application for quotation is approved, the number of institutions or persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or nonexistent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively
unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk averse and may be reluctant to follow a relatively unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, assuming that our common stock is accepted for quotation, there may be
periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot assure you that an active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.
Limitations on director and officer liability and indemnification of our officers and directors by us may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing state law, that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law,
or unlawful payments of dividends. These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by shareholders on our behalf against a director. In addition, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by governing state law.
12
We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay dividends.
We currently intend to retain any future earnings to the expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to, our financial
condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock may be limited by state law. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize their investment.
If our common stock is accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board it may be thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
If our common stock is accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, it may be thinly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning there has been a low volume of buyers and sellers of the shares. Through this registration statement, we are going public without the typical initial public offering procedures which usually include
a large selling group of broker-dealers who may provide market support after going public. Thus, we will be required to undertake efforts to develop market recognition for us and support for our shares of common stock in the public market. The price and volume for our common stock that will develop cannot be assured. The number of institutions or persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This
situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned
and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days, weeks or months when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price.
We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. In addition to trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, our ultimate intention is to apply for trading on either the Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC (formerly American Stock Exchange) at
such time that we meet the requirements for listing on those exchanges. We currently do not meet the objective listing criteria for listing on those exchanges and there can be no assurance as to when we will qualify for either of these exchanges or that we will ever qualify for these exchanges.
In order for us to be eligible to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC, we would need, among other things, to qualify with certain requirements in connection with bid and ask prices for our common stock, as well as a minimum value of stockholders equity and market value of our publicly held shares.
Currently, our market capitalization, revenues and stockholders’ equity are insufficient to qualify for these exchanges. We also do not have a sufficient number of shareholders. We would also need to meet the corporate governance and independent director and audit committee standards of Nasdaq and/or the NYSE
Alternext U.S. LLC. We do not satisfy such standards at this time.
If our common stock is accepted for quotation and begins trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading volume we develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in OTC Bulletin Board stocks and certain major brokerage
firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Bulletin Board stocks because they are considered speculative, volatile and thinly traded.
13
The application of the “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of the common stock, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
If our common stock is accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, as long as the trading price of our common stock is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules, unless we otherwise qualify for an exemption from the “penny stock” definition. The
“penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on certain broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with net assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). These regulations, if they apply, require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated
risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock, reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock and increasing the transaction
costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.
The OTC Bulletin Board is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange.
The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Because trades and quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition,
quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmation may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.
When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individual’s orders being executed, and current prices may differ
significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board at the time of the order entry.
Orders for OTC Bulletin Board securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTC Bulletin Board trades, order processing and
reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, one may not able to sell shares of common stock at the optimum trading prices.
The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board if the common stock or other security must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities may incur an immediate “paper” loss
due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTC Bulletin Board may be decreased or eliminated.
14
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144 as in effect as of the date of this prospectus, a shareholder (or shareholders
whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied the applicable holding period and is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of sale, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, may sell their shares of common stock. Any substantial sale, or cumulative sales, of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.
We expect volatility in the price of our common stock, which may subject us to securities litigation.
If established, the market for our common stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against
a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
If our stock does trade in a market or exchange, our stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid.
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, and all other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase our common stock. The occurrence of any of the following risk factors could harm
our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that may harm our business. You may lose part or all of your investment due to any of these risks or uncertainties.
A total of 5,234,200 or 80.82% of our outstanding shares following this registration are restricted from immediate resale, but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our shares to drop significantly, even if our
business is profitable.
After this registration, we will have 6,476,277 shares outstanding. We expect that the remaining 5,234,200 ordinary shares, representing 80.82% of our total outstanding shares following this offering, will become available for resale in the public market as shown in the chart below. As restrictions on resale
end, the market price of our shares could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of our ordinary shares or other securities.

Our limited operating history makes evaluation of our business difficult.
We were formed in July 2009, to acquire an Israeli company called Baby’s Breath Ltd. founded in 2001 and to date have generated only minimal revenues. Our ability to implement a successful business plan remains unproven and no assurance can be given that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business. We
have a limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our performance. You must consider our prospects in light of these risks, expenses, technical obstacles, difficulties, market penetration rate and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of new businesses. These factors include uncertainty whether we will be able to:
|
• |
Raise capital; |
|
• |
Develop and implement our business plan in a timely and effective manner; |
|
• |
Be successful in uncertain markets; |
|
• |
Respond effectively to competitive pressures; |
|
• |
Successfully address intellectual property issues of others; |
|
• |
Protect and expand our intellectual property rights; and |
|
• |
Continue to develop and upgrade our products. |
Our business is dependent upon proprietary intellectual property rights, which if we were unable to protect, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We currently own and may in the future own or license additional patent rights or trade secrets in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Canada and elsewhere in the world that cover certain of our products. We rely on patent laws, and other intellectual property laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to
protect our products and intangible assets. These intellectual property rights are important to our ongoing operations and no assurance can be given that any measure we implement will be sufficient to protect our intellectual property rights. We may lose the protection afforded by these rights through patent expirations, legal challenges or governmental action. If we cannot protect our rights, we may lose our competitive advantage or our competitive advantage could be lost if
these patents were found to be invalid in the jurisdictions in which we sell or plan to sell our products. The loss of our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we become subject to intellectual property actions, this could hinder our ability to deliver our products and services and our business could be negatively impacted.
We may be subject to legal or regulatory actions alleging intellectual property infringement or similar claims against us. Companies may apply for or be awarded patents or have other intellectual property rights covering aspects of our technologies or businesses. Moreover, if it is determined that our products infringe
on the intellectual property rights of third parties, we may be prevented from marketing our products. While we are currently not subject to any material intellectual property litigation, any future litigation alleging intellectual property infringement could be costly, particularly in light of our limited resources. Similarly, if we determine that third parties are infringing on our patents or other intellectual property rights, our limited resources may prevent us from litigating or otherwise
taking actions to enforce our rights. Any such litigation or inability to enforce our rights could require us to change our business practices, could potentially hinder or prevent our ability to deliver our products and services, and could result in a negative impact to our business. Expansion of our business via product line enhancements or
16
new product lines to drive increased growth in current or new markets may be inhibited by the intellectual property rights of our competitors and/or suppliers. Our inability to successfully mitigate those factors may significantly reduce our market opportunity and subsequent growth.
We face intense competition and our inability to successfully compete with our competitors who produce inhalers will have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.
Respironics brand holds a very large market share in the sleep apnea segment and is therefore largely identified with it. Respironics’ offering includes a variety of home compressor nebulizer, mobile and disposable versions. DeVilbiss Healthcare presents itself as a leader in the respiratory niche of the home healthcare products market: DeVilbiss
Healthcare design, manufacture and market respiratory medical products that address the respiratory needs of patients in both institutional and homecare settings. The company’s offering ranges from oxygen to sleep therapy, and pulmonary drug delivery devices. Omron Healthcare and Pari Respiratory Equipment also offer variety of portable compressor nebulizers. Cardinal Health maintains a broad portfolio of products and services and offers a wide range of home healthcare nebulizers for children and grown-ups,
all comprising a mouthpiece for inhalation. Westmed Inc. manufactures a complete nebulizer system which is designed to enhance the delivery of aerosolized medication while reducing the apprehension encountered by young patients.
None of the above-mentioned companies provides a truly differentiated offering, in which medication delivery does not involve direct physical contact of the delivery system with the infant/patient.
In terms of the entry barriers: there is an increasing presence of leading manufacturers on all market segments tackling new respiratory therapies and devices. Some of them have really solidified their leadership and gained substantial reputation and as such they may not be
keen to welcome a newcomer offering real and objective added value.
These companies would certainly employ the resources to compete with us if they view them as concrete threat, such as preventing BabyAir registration and compliance with CPT codes (Current Procedural Terminology system, published and maintained by AMA – the American Medical Association www.ama-assn.org).
This is a necessary and tangible milestone for market entry and companies may have the means to influence and bias the CPT Advisory Committee decision to their interest.
The medical industry has historically used a variety of technologies for inhalation drug delivery solutions. Compared to these conventional technologies, our technology is relatively new, and the number of companies using our technology is limited. The commercial success of our product will depend upon the widespread adoption of our technology
as a preferred method by hospitals and patients. In order to be successful, our product must meet the technical and cost requirements for these facilities. Market acceptance will depend on many factors, including:
17
|
• |
the willingness and ability of customers to adopt new technologies; |
|
• |
our ability to convince prospective strategic partners and customers that our technology is an attractive alternative to conventional methods used by the medical industry; |
|
• |
our ability to select and execute agreements with effective distributors and manufacturers representatives to market and sell our product; and |
|
• |
our ability to assure customer use of BabyAir proprietary method. |
Because of these and other factors, our product may not gain market acceptance or become the industry standard for the health care industry. The failure of such companies to purchase our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on local distributors to market and distribute our products in most of the territories.
We rely on distributors for the marketing and distribution of our products. Generally, under our agreements with local distributors, each distributor is granted the right to market our products in a particular country or region, subject to the attainment of minimum sales targets. Our success in generating sales in countries or
regions where we have engaged local distributors depends in part on the efforts of others whom we do not control. If a distributor is terminated by us or goes out of business, it may take us a period of time to locate an alternative distributor and to train its personnel to market our products and our ability to sell our products in that distributor’s country or region could be adversely affected.
If we or our distributors do not obtain and maintain the necessary regulatory approvals in a specific country or region, we will not be able to market and sell our products in that country or region.
We sell our products mainly in the following countries, including Finland, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Israel, Serbia and in some countries in the Far East. To be able to market and sell our products in a specific country or region, we or our distributors must comply with the regulations of that country
or region. While the regulations of some countries do not impose barriers to marketing and selling our products or only require notification, others require that we or our distributors obtain the approval of a specified regulatory body. These regulations, including the requirements for approvals, and the time required for regulatory review vary from country to country. Obtaining regulatory approvals is expensive and time-consuming, and we cannot be certain that we or our distributors
will receive regulatory approvals in each country or region in which we plan to market our products. If we or our distributors are unable to maintain our authorizations in a particular country or region, we will no longer be able to sell our products in that country or region, and our ability to generate revenues will be materially adversely affected.
Our products require FDA clearance and our business will be subject to intense governmental regulation and scrutiny, both in the U.S. and abroad.
In 2006 Baby’s Breath filed a 510(k) submission with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) with respect to a product classification as a Class II non-exempt device. We cannot generate revenues from our product to be used in hospitals without FDA clearance. We received written confirmation
of final FDA clearance in 2006.
The potential production and marketing of some of our products and our ongoing research and development, any pre-clinical testing and clinical trial activities are subject to extensive regulation and review by FDA and other governmental authorities both in the United States and abroad. In addition to testing and approval procedures,
extensive regulations also govern marketing, manufacturing, distribution, labeling, and record keeping. If we do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements, violations could result in warning letters, non-approvals, suspensions of regulatory approvals, civil penalties and criminal fines, product seizures and recalls, operating restrictions, injunctions, and criminal prosecution.
18
Periodically, legislative or regulatory proposals are introduced that could alter the review and approval process relating to medical products. It is possible that the FDA will issue additional regulations further restricting the sale of our present or proposed products. Any change in legislation or regulations that
govern the review and approval process relating to our current and future products could make it more difficult and costly to obtain approval for new products, or to produce, market, and distribute existing products.
Some of our activities may subject us to risks under federal and state laws prohibiting “kickbacks” and false or fraudulent claims.
A federal law commonly known as the Medicare/Medicaid anti-kickback law, and several similar state laws, prohibit payments that are intended to induce physicians or others either to refer patients or to acquire or arrange for or recommend the acquisition of health care products or services. While the federal law applies only
to referrals, products or services for which payment may be made by a federal health care program, state laws often apply regardless of whether federal funds may be involved. These laws constrain the sales, marketing and other promotional activities of manufacturers of medical devices, such as us, by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, we may have with hospitals, physicians, and other potential purchasers of medical devices. Other federal and state laws
generally prohibit individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid, or other third-party payors that are false or fraudulent, or are for items or services that were not provided as claimed. As we may provide some coding and billing advice to purchasers of our products, and since we cannot be sure that the government will regard any billing errors that may be made as inadvertent, these laws are potentially applicable
to us. Anti-kickback and false claims laws prescribe civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance that can be substantial. Even an unsuccessful challenge could cause adverse publicity and be costly to respond to, and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to expand reimbursement coverage from third-party healthcare payors for procedures using the our products, or if reimbursement is insufficient to cover the costs of purchasing or using our products when compared to alternative procedures, demand for our products may not continue to grow.
Demand for our products depends on the eligibility of our products for reimbursement through government-sponsored healthcare payment systems and private third-party payors. In general, the process of obtaining reimbursement coverage approvals has been slower outside of the United States. Reimbursement practices
vary significantly from country to country and within some countries, by region, and we must obtain reimbursement approvals on a country-by-country or region-by-region basis. We may not be able to obtain further approvals in a timely manner or at all. Our business model and marketing strategy will be directly influenced by changes in the reimbursement policy.
Changes in healthcare system policies may make it difficult for physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain full reimbursement for the purchase of our products, which could adversely affect demand therefor.
Many healthcare payors have adopted a managed care system in which they contract to provide comprehensive healthcare for a fixed cost per person, irrespective of the amount of care actually provided. Therefore, the amount of reimbursement provided may not be sufficient to encourage physicians to purchase or utilize our products
and solutions. We are unable to predict what changes will be made in the reimbursement policies of third-party payors. We could be adversely affected by changes in reimbursement policies of governmental or private healthcare payors to the extent any such changes affect reimbursement amounts or methods for procedures in which our products are used.
19
Failure to obtain CPT codes for our products may limit our ability to sell our products to clinics and hospitals in the US.
CPTs (Current Procedural Terminology) codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. They are then used by insurers to determine the amount of reimbursement that a practitioner will receive by an insurer. Since everyone uses the same
codes to mean the same thing, they ensure uniformity. CPT codes are developed, maintained and copyrighted by the AMA (American Medical Association). As the practice of health care changes, new codes are developed for new services, current codes may be revised, and old, unused codes are discarded. Thousands of codes are in use, and they are updated annually.
Our ability to successfully market and distribute our products to hospitals and clinics in the US depends on our ability to obtain CPT codes for our products. Though we intend to pursue procurement of such cods there is no guaranty that we will be successful in our efforts and failure to obtain such codes may have an adverse affect on our
marketing and distribution operations in the US
Our lack of manufacturer could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely manner or within budget.
To date we relied on a single supplier for the production and manufacturing of our BabyAir product. This manufacturer will no longer produce our product in the future. We are currently in negotiation with another manufacturer located in Israel to produce our products for the future. Our lack of
current manufacturer could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely manner or within budget. Out inability to regain production abilities in a timely manner may adversely affect our sales.
None of the marks currently used by us are registered and protected.
None of the following trade names used by us is a registered trademark: BabyAir, WiseAir, and there is no guaranty that we will be able to register such trade names or maintain protection or any rights therein. To the extent other parties will register these trade names as protected marks we may be forced to market our products under different
names which may adversely affect our sale efforts and our financial results. We are not aware of any usage by any third parties of any of the abovementioned marks.
If we are unable to successfully protect our products through the issuance and enforcement of patents and other means of protection, our business could be harmed significantly.
Our ability to prevent competitors from gaining access to our products and solutions is essential to our success. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, we may lose an important advantage in the markets in which we compete. Patent, copyright, trade secret laws and ability to trademark our
product in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as our internal confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, are at the core of our efforts to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.
Baby's Breath has been granted two patents for BabyAir, which covers the "up side down Nebulizer", the tube that transports the medicine, as well as the hood. The status of patent filing worldwide is presented in the following table.

While we plan to protect our intellectual property with, among other things, patent protection, there can be no assurance that:
|
· |
current or future U.S. or foreign patents applications will be approved; |
|
· |
our issued patents will protect our intellectual property and not be held invalid or unenforceable if challenged by third parties via litigation or administrative proceeding; |
|
· |
we will obtain a favorable outcome if we assert our intellectual property rights against third parties; |
|
· |
we will succeed in protecting our technology adequately in all key jurisdictions in which we or our competitors operate; |
|
· |
the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business; or |
|
· |
others will not independently develop similar or competing products or methods or design around any patents that may be issued to us. |
Because the medical device industry is litigious, we are susceptible to intellectual property suits that could cause us to incur substantial costs or pay substantial damages or prohibit us from selling our products.
There is a substantial amount of litigation over patent and other intellectual property rights in the medical device industry. Whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain. While we have attempted to ensure that our product does not infringe
other parties’ patents and proprietary rights, our competitors or other parties may assert that our product and the methods it employs may be covered by patents held by them. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, which may later result in issued patents which our product may infringe. If our products infringe a valid patent, we could be prevented from selling them unless we can obtain a
license or redesign the product to avoid infringement. A license may not always be available or may require us to pay substantial royalties. We also may not be successful in any attempt to redesign our product to avoid any infringement. Infringement and other intellectual property claims, with or without merit, can be expensive and time-consuming to litigate and can divert management’s attention from our core business.
Litigation and administrative proceedings are inherently uncertain and divert resources that could be directed towards other business priorities. We may not be able to obtain positive results and may spend considerable resources in our efforts to defend and protect our intellectual property. Furthermore, legal standards
relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection vary from one jurisdiction to another and may not be attainable in every country in which our products are available. The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of those rights may be inadequate. Accordingly,
despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property and utilizing our technology for their competitive advantage. Our failure to obtain trademarks or patents, including with claims of a scope necessary to cover our technology, or the invalidation of our patents, may weaken our competitive position and may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Our international operations expose us to the risk of fluctuation in currency exchange rates.
We derive all of our revenues in various countries utilizing various currencies throughout the world. As we expect to begin sales in the United States, we expect that a substantial portion of our revenues in the future will be in U.S. dollars while a significant portion of our expenses will be denominated in Israeli shekels. Our
shekel-denominated expenses consist principally of salaries, building leases and related personnel expenses. We anticipate that a material portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in shekels. If the U.S. dollar or other world currencies weakens against the shekel, there will be a negative impact on our profit margins. We currently do not hedge our currency exposure through financial instruments. In addition,
if we wish to maintain the dollar-denominated value of our products in non-U.S. markets, devaluation in the local currencies of our customers relative to the U.S. dollar could cause our customers to cancel or decrease orders or default on payment.
21
Fluctuations in our revenues and operating results on a quarterly and annual basis could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Our quarterly and annual revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate in the future, from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. It is possible that our operating results in some quarters and years will be below market expectations. This may cause the market price of our shares to decline.
Our quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. In particular, we have limited exposure to end customer demand upon which we predict future sales of our solutions.
Additional factors that may affect our quarterly and annual operating results include:
|
· |
the loss of one or more of our customers, or a significant reduction or postponement of orders from our customers; |
|
· |
our customers’ sales outlooks, purchasing patterns and inventory levels based on end-customer demands and general economic conditions; |
|
· |
our ability to successfully develop, introduce and sell new or enhanced products in a timely manner; |
|
· |
product obsolescence and our ability to manage product transitions; |
|
· |
changes in the relative sales mix of our products; |
|
· |
changes in our cost of finished products; |
|
· |
the potential loss of key manufacturer and supplier relationships; and |
Pursuant to the Israeli Tax Authority a tax pre-ruling of August 25 2009 some of our shareholders are subject to limitations with respect to their ability to dispose of their holdings in us. In addition pursuant to the terms of said pre-ruling, we are subject to certain limitations with respect to
our ability to issue additional shares and diluting the holdings of our shareholders in us.
On September 7, 2009, we purchased all the issued and outstanding shares of Baby’s Breath Ltd. from Baby’s Breath shareholders in consideration for 6,280,600 shares of our Common Stock as a result of which Baby’s Breath became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Our acquisition of Baby’s Breath's shares in consideration
for the issuance of shares of common stock of New Air was made pursuant to a tax arrangement and a pre-ruling reached with the Israeli Tax Authorities in accordance with the provisions of Section 104B of the Israeli Tax Ordinance. A translated copy of the Pre-Ruling is attached as an exhibit hereto. The terms of the Pre-Ruling impose certain limitations on the ability of our shareholders that are Israeli residents to dispose of their holdings in New Air, and on the level of dilution to which
such shareholders may be subject in the future in case of additional fund raising by us. The Pre-Ruling also prohibits us from selling our holdings in Baby's Breath for the duration prescribed under law. In order to maintain compliance with the terms of the Pre Ruling the shares of common stock that were issued to those shareholders being parties to the Pre Ruling are held by a trustee appointed by New Air (the “Trustee”, and
are to be held by the Trustee for a period of 24 months following the issuance thereof (the “Restricted Period”). During the Restricted Period those shareholders that are Israeli residents, parties to the Pre Ruling may sell a collective aggregate amount of shares that equals up to 10% of their holdings (i.e. an aggregate amount of 628,060 shares). The shareholders may apportioned their respective right to sell such shares among themselves
such that the total amount of the shares sold by the Israeli resident's shareholders shall not exceed the amount of shares stated above . The Israeli resident's shareholders have agreed that the Israeli resident's shareholders listed on the Selling Shareholders table herein may sell the number of shares included in this registration statement.

In recent years new solutions to respiratory ailments, in the form of seasonal vaccines, were put into use.
In recent years new solutions to respiratory ailments, in the form of seasonal vaccines, were put into use. This trend has the potential to decrease the potential market for inhalation solutions. We have no control over trends in the industry and such trends as well as additional trends which may evolve may adversely affect our operational
results.
There is growing requirement for a double sterilization process for medical devices.
Recently, due to recent epidemics (such as the recent swine flue), there is growing requirement for a double sterilization process for medical devices, which is a longer and more expensive process. This can make the use of the BabyAir device more expensive and harder for use in the hospital market.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR LOCATION IN ISRAEL
Conditions in Israel could adversely affect our business.
Our principal offices and research and development facilities are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our business. Since the State of Israel was
established in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Although Israel has entered into various agreements with Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, there has been an increase in unrest and terrorist activity, which began in September 2000 and has continued with varying levels of severity
into 2007. Furthermore, several countries, principally in the Middle East, still restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in Israel continue or increase. These restrictions may limit materially our ability to sell our solutions to companies in these countries. Additionally, any hostilities involving Israel may have a material adverse effect on our facilities, all or
a portion of our inventory may be damaged, and our ability to deliver products to customers may be materially adversely affected. Our employees in Israel, including executive officers, may be called upon to perform annual military reserve duty and, in emergency circumstances, could be called to active duty. Such disruption could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The government grants we received through Baby's Breath for research and development expenditures restrict our ability to manufacture products and transfer technologies outside of Israel and require us to satisfy specified conditions.
We have received grants from the government of Israel through the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, for the financing of a portion of our research and development expenditures in Israel. Under Israeli law, royalties on the revenues derived from sales of all of our products are payable
to the Israeli government, generally at the rate of 3.5%, up to the amount of the received grants as adjusted for fluctuation in the U.S. dollar/shekel exchange rate. The amounts received after January 1, 1999, bear interest equal to the 12-month London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to dollar deposits that is published on the first business day of each calendar year. Royalties are paid on our consolidated revenues.
The Government of Israel, through the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS), encourages Research and Development projects that result in products for export. Through Baby's Breath we received grants of approximately $268,029 from the OCS through December 31, 2005, which were used to fund its initial product development. Pursuant
to the terms of these grants, the Company is obligated to pay royalties to the OCS at the rates of 3.0% and 3.5% of revenues derived from sales of products funded with these grants, up to 100.0% up to 150% of certain grant amounts received in 2005-2007 and 2008 accordingly.
In the event that a project funded by the OCS does not result in the development of a product that generates revenues, the Company would not be obligated to repay the grants the Company received for the product's development. The terms of the grant also require that the know-how derived from the research and development fund by the OCS.
Product may not be transferred to third parties without the approval of the OCS. As of 31 December, 2008, approximately $4,000 was paid in respect of royalties payable to the Chief Scientist.
23
The terms of the grants prohibit us under certain limitations from manufacturing products outside of Israel or transferring intellectual property rights in technologies developed using these grants inside or outside of Israel without special approvals. Even if we receive approval to manufacture our products outside of Israel, we may be required to pay an increased total amount of royalties.
This restriction may impair our ability to outsource manufacturing or engage in similar arrangements for those products or technologies. Know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to any third parties, except in certain circumstances and subject to prior approval. In addition, if we fail to comply with any of the conditions and restrictions imposed by Israeli law we may be required to refund any grants previously received together with interest and
penalties, and may be subject to criminal charges.
It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and directors in Israel or the United States, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our officers and directors.
All of our executive officers and directors are not residents of the United States, and the majority of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to enforce a U.S. court judgment based upon the civil liability
provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or any of these persons in a U.S. or Israeli court, or to effect service of process upon these persons in the United States. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws on the grounds that Israel is not the most appropriate forum
in which to bring such a claim. Even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing the matters described above. For
additional Information see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
All of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any
judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.
It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may
determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory
judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that:
· the judgments are obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;
· the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgments were rendered allows the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
24
· adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;
· the judgments are not contrary to public policy, and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment does not impair the security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
· the judgments were not obtained by fraud and do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
· an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
· the obligations under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue
a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange
rates.

This prospectus relates to the following:
The resale by certain selling security holders of the Company of up to 1,242,077 shares of common stock of which 195,677 shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder as a transaction not involving a public offering and sold to non US
citizens or residents. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" Section)
The selling shareholders may sell their shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB listing. We
will not receive any proceeds from the resale of common shares by the selling security holders.
Our stock registration is made without the involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers. With the exception of any brokerage fees and commissions which are the obligation of the selling shareholders, we are responsible for the fees, costs and expenses of this offering which are estimated to be approximately
$200,000, inclusive of our legal and accounting fees, printing costs and filing and other miscellaneous fees and expenses.
The $1.00 per share offering price of our common stock was determined arbitrarily by us. There is no relationship whatsoever between this price and our assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. We intend to apply to the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation
service for the trading of our common stock upon our becoming a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). If our common stock becomes so traded and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus. The offering price would thus be
determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
The selling shareholders named in the table titled 'Selling Shareholders' are offering all of the shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. Some of the selling shareholders who are not US citizens or residents acquired their 195,677 shares of common
stock offered through a private offering that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). None of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers.
27
The persons listed in the following table plan to offer the shares shown opposite their respective names by means of this prospectus. The owners of the shares to be sold by means of this prospectus are referred to as the “selling” shareholders”. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following
methods, without limitations.
|
A block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
| ||
|
Purchase by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
| ||
|
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers
| ||
|
Face to face transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. |
28
Based upon information available to us as of October 16, 2009, the following table sets forth the names of the selling shareholders, the number of shares owned, the number of shares registered by this prospectus and the number and percent of outstanding shares that the selling shareholders will own after the sale
of the registered shares, assuming all of the shares are sold. The information provided in the table and discussions below has been obtained from the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which it provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. As used in this prospectus, "selling shareholder" includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from the named selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, distribution or other non-sale related transfer.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

No underwriters or brokers are involved or are expected to be involved in the distribution. On September 7, 2009 we acquired Baby’s Breath, Ltd. In a stock for stock trade at a 1:200 ratio whereby we issued 6,280,600 shares of our common stock for 31,403 shares in Baby’s Breath, Ltd. As
a consequence, Baby’s Breath, Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company and the shareholders of Baby’s Breath Ltd. became 96.98% of the total shareholders in our Company. The remaining 195,677 shares issued and outstanding were purchased from us in a private placement transaction in reliance on Regulation S. A copy of this prospectus will be mailed to each holder of record of New Air's common stock on ____________, 2009. New Air will also
mail copies of this prospectus to brokers and dealers who are known to trade or make a market in New Air's common stock and to other brokers and dealers who may reasonably be expected in the future to trade or make a market in New Air' common stock. However, New Air does not anticipate that an active market for its common stock will develop in the near future, and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop at any time. See RISK FACTORS – “RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OWNING NEW
AIR STOCK.”
The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling shareholders may sell the shares from time to time:
|
In transactions on the Pink Sheets, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; | ||
|
In private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; | ||
|
At a price of $1.00 per share for the duration of the offering or until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices; | ||
|
D) |
In negotiated transactions; | |
|
E) |
In a combination of such methods of sale; or | |
|
|
F) |
Any other method permitted by law. |
The selling shareholders may effect such transactions by offering and selling the shares directly to or through securities broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may
act as agent or to whom the selling shareholders may sell as principal, or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.
If our common stock becomes traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation service, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling shareholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
|
1. |
The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale; | |
|
2. |
A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or | |
|
3. |
Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time. |
We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
31
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker-dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be governed by the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of any of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable period under Regulation M prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling shareowners will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including
without limitation Rules 10b-5 and Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling shareholders. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security owners and any of their affiliates. We
have informed the selling shareholders that they may not:
|
A) |
Engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any of the shares; |
|
Bid for or purchase any of the shares or any rights to acquire the shares; | |
|
Attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act; or | |
|
Effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution. |
We have informed the selling shareholders that they must effect all sales of shares in broker's transactions, through broker-dealers acting as agents, in transactions directly with market makers, or in privately negotiated transactions where no broker or other third party, other than the purchaser, is involved. The selling shareholders
may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealers, and any profits received on the resale of shares, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act if the broker-dealers purchase shares as principal. In the absence of the registration statement
to which this prospectus is a part, certain of the selling shareholders would be able to sell their shares only pursuant to the limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Penny Stock Regulations
Our shares are "penny stocks" covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions
with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.
32
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
If a selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement in the United States, the selling security holders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as "Blue Sky laws," with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemption from registration
for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor's. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise a selling security holder which states our common stock is exempt from registration
with that state for secondary sales.
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales. When the registration statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s)
he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether it will need to register or it will rely on an exemption there from.
Transfer Agent
We are currently utilizing the services of Corporate Stock Transfer (www.corporatestock.com), Telephone: 303-282-4800 which serves in the capacity as our transfer agent to have us track and facilitate the transfer of our stock.
33
Admission to Quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board
We intend to apply to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from
national and regional stock exchanges in that it (1) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and (2) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the "specialist" common to stock exchanges.
To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. If it meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board our securities will trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board. We may not now or ever qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. We currently are working with Spartan Securities Group, Ltd as our market maker to list quotations for our securities.
The Company, a Maryland corporation, is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value. The Company has issued 6,476,277 common shares to the shareholders of the Company.

We are a newly established US parent company of Baby’s Breath Ltd. founded back in 2001 by a group of entrepreneurs and leading physicians: Dr. Israel Amirav, Dr. David Groshar, Prof. Newhouse, and Asaf Halamish, with a goal of developing innovative inhalation technologies for the treatment of respiratory diseases.
Baby's Breath has completed the development and commercialization of BabyAir, a special inhalation and drug delivery solution for babies under the age of 2 years, who suffer from asthma and other respiratory conditions. The product was developed based on requests that emerged from pediatricians and clinicians in the field and with their
guidance and inputs.
Business Overview
We develop manufacture and market proprietary products for the treatment of respiratory diseases and pulmonary conditions in infants and in elderly people such Asthma, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Cystic Fibrosis, Pneumonia, Dyspnea and breathing disorders during sleep.
We currently market and distribute BabyAir, for the treatment of respiratory diseases and pulmonary conditions in infants, and we are in the process of developing WiseAir for the treatment of these conditions in elderly people. We believe that our products provide a patient-friendly solution that addresses a significant market opportunity
and overcomes many of the shortcomings of traditional products for the treatment of such conditions.
Respiratory Diseases – General Overview of the Market
Asthma
Once considered a minor ailment affecting only a few, asthma is now the most common chronic disorder in childhood, affecting an estimated 9 million children under the age of 18 in the US. The prevalence of asthma has progressively increased over the past 15 years. In the United States alone, 30.8 million people – 10.6 percent
of adults and 12.2 percent of children – have been diagnosed with asthma (source: NIEHS – National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences).
36
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Respiratory Syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) Virus, or RSV, is a respiratory virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection, which manifests primarily as bronchiolitis and/or viral pneumonia, is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract (LRT) infection in infants and young children. In fact,
RSV is considered to be the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia in children under 1 year of age in the United States. In addition, RSV is more often being recognized as an important cause of respiratory illness in older adults. High-risk adults include those with chronic heart disease, chronic lung disease, or compromised immune systems; the elderly include those 65 or older, particularly if they reside in a long-term care facility or participate in
other senior day-care programs.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF), is a relatively common hereditary disease that affects the entire body, causing progressive disability and early death. Difficulty breathing is the most common symptom and results from frequent lung infections, which are treated, though not always cured, by antibiotics and other medications.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. It includes emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and in some cases asthma. Approximately, 12 million adults in the United States have been diagnosed with COPD, and another 12 million are believed to be undiagnosed.
COPD is considered to be a leading cause of death, illness, and disability in the United States.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia mainly causes illness in children younger than 2 years old and adults 65 years of age or older. The elderly are especially at risk of getting seriously ill and dying from this condition. Pneumonia is considered the fifth leading cause of death at the age of 65 in the
United States and a third leading cause of death in those over 85.
Dyspnea
Dyspnea is defined as the relentless awareness of shortness of breath. Reported in up to 70% of patients with terminal lung disease, dyspnea has a debilitating effect on function and quality of life. Perhaps in part because the cause of dyspnea has yet to be fully elucidated, its presence in the setting of terminal lung disease can be extremely
difficult to treat.
Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PE)
PE is a major diagnostic dilemma for the clinician and is one of the most common non- or misdiagnosed diseases. Acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is the third most common cause of death in hospital patients. More than 500,000 patients are diagnosed with PE in the United States annually, resulting in approximately 200,000 deaths.
Breathing Disorders During Sleep
Sleep apnea is the most common sleep disorder in terms of mortality and morbidity, especially in middle-age men. Sleep apnea occurs in all age groups and both sexes, but seems to predominate in males (it may be under diagnosed in females) and in African Americans. The Associated Professional Sleep Societies estimates that as many as 20
million Americans have this condition. The conditions associated with sleep apnea are a cascade: apnea, arousal, sleep deprivation, and excessive daytime sleepiness. According to recent studies, at least one in 50 children suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.

Respiratory Diseases –Existing Treatments
| Using a Nebulizer - The Most Common Current Treatment for Most Respiratory Conditions
Current treatments of the abovementioned conditions consists mostly of Aerosol therapy. Aerosol therapy consists of a compressor, which generates a controlled airflow to the nebulizer cup, and the medication mist is then inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask. The treatment typically requires up to 20 minutes to administer. It is commonly
used in treating asthma, cystic fibrosis, upper respiratory infection, and other respiratory diseases, and has been even found effective in treating discomfort with morphine for end stage lung diseases. Aerosol therapy however does not adequately meet the infant’s basic need for efficient patient-friendly therapy.
Current Treatment- the Disadvantages of Treating Infants
Treatment is effective only when aerosolized medication delivery systems are used properly. Proper usage is actually being impaired by the presence of the mouthpiece.
The facemask element of the treatment is a major disadvantage. Simply put, babies and children despise the mask and fight from the moment the treatment starts often exhausting themselves in their weak state. Recent studies have stressed the importance of fitting the mask tightly to the child’s face. It was shown that a gap as
small as 0.4 inch between the nebulizer mask and the face can reduce the amount of medicine delivered to the patient by as much as 50%. Part of the dosage is thus wasted, and several repeated inhalation sessions are often required in order to deliver the desired medication dosage. In addition proper distribution of the medication is affected because of the delivery method, and the therapy’s effectiveness is thus eventually jeopardized. |
 |
| In addition, the treatment should be given in an elevated position because of the position of the nebulizer itself. If the nebulizer is laid flat on the child while the child is sleeping, the contents of the nebulizer will spill out. This means waking the child to administer the inhalation, sometimes several times a day and night.
The effectiveness of the treatment is further reduced due to the stress and crying of the infants and children while being forced to wear the masks during the treatments. Several studies have shown that the effect of crying while being treated with a nebulizer causes a significant
reduction in the absorption of the aerosol in the lungs thus reducing the therapeutic value of the drug.
Current Treatment - the Disadvantages of Treating Elderly and Feeble Patients
Another population that cannot use a mouthpiece or a mask with a nebulizer is the elderly and feeble long-term-care patients who suffer from lower respiratory illness and are not able to breathe on their own. Furthermore, older patients, while more constrained in their reaction, also feel constricted and uncomfortable while wearing the
mask. These difficulties ultimately can result in non-compliance due to the extreme discomfort. According to studies conducted by the General Practice Airways Group, of patients admitted to hospital for asthma attacks, 74% could have been prevented with a nebulizer treatment. In short the current delivery method has disadvantages which eventually jeopardize the effectiveness and efficacy of the therapy.

Competing Products
We consider the following companies as our main competitors in the market in which we operate: Respironics, DeVilbiss Healthcare, Omron Healthcare, Pari Respiratory Equipment, Cardinal Health and Westmed Inc.:
Respironics brand holds a very large market share in the sleep apnea segment and is therefore largely identified with it. Respironics’ offering includes a variety of home compressor nebulizer, mobile and disposable versions. DeVilbiss Healthcare presents itself as a leader in the respiratory niche of the home healthcare products market: DeVilbiss
Healthcare design, manufacture and market respiratory medical products that address the respiratory needs of patients in both institutional and homecare settings. The company’s offering ranges from oxygen to sleep therapy, and pulmonary drug delivery devices. Omron Healthcare and Pari Respiratory Equipment also offer variety of portable compressor nebulizers. Cardinal Health maintains a broad portfolio of products and services and offers a wide range of home healthcare nebulizers for children and grown-ups,
all comprising a mouthpiece for inhalation. Westmed Inc. manufactures a complete nebulizer system which is designed to enhance the delivery of aerosolized medication while reducing the apprehension encountered by young patients.
None of the above-mentioned companies provides a truly differentiated offering, in which medication delivery does not involve direct physical contact of the delivery system with the infant/patient.
Our Products and Their Advantages
| The Product
Our Products have evident unique and sustainable advantages. The main feature of our products and the basis for their differentiation with competitive products is the fact that it is currently the only specifically designed for infants’ device in the market, that consists of a hood and an upside-down nebulizer, which allows for treating
a patient while lying flat on the bed. This increases effectiveness and level of absorption of the administered drugs while it prevents waste of unused drug left in the cup and is better suited for absorbance in infants’ lungs.
● A flexible and collapsible frame,
● A patented hood,
● A patented ‘upside down’ nebulizer for use when lying down,
● Tube adjustable to child/patient’s position. |
 | |
| * Compressor on top is not included. |
|
Child Hood and Frame– Currently, the frame and hood is one construct. The tent is constructed like an umbrella and is designed to be placed over the head and upper torso of the child. The hood is made up of a collapsible plastic frame, which is covered by
transparent plastic sheet. The top and bottom of the hood is open slightly to allow for fresh air. The hood can be decorated with various elements to amuse the child, and can even be equipped with a mobile to further distract the child. When the hood is not in use it can be easily stored in its own bag. Tube - In the center of the Child Hood, affixed to the frame is a corrugated plastic tube with a silicone nipple at the bottom that is designed to easily direct the aerosol to the nose and mouth of the child. If the child wants to turn his head, the parent simply readjusts the
tube without troubling the child.
UDN Nebulizer – The patented down draft nebulizer is designed to deliver aerosol medicine ‘upside down’. This enables delivery of the medication even while the child or infant is lying down or sleeping. The nebulizer is made of polycarbonate and fits on the top of the funnel pipe. The nebulizer is designed to work either with a compressor or be connected to a hospital air
line or oxygen line. |
 |
39
Compressor – Electrically powered utilizing 115V or 220V is connected to the nebulae by means of an air hose. The compressor provides the correct air/pressure output for proper formation of the aerosol. While the compressor can be bought off the shelf, as there is nothing unique about it, in the long run, it is far more cost effective to manufacture than to license from another company.
During treatment the umbrella like hood is opened over the head of the infant. The medicine is placed in the nebulizer cup and is delivered to the area in front of the nose and mouth of the patient as a nebulized fine aerosol. This system enables the medication to be inhaled by the patient without any physical contact with BabyAir.
Our Advantages
Our products employ a 'hood' technique which does not need to be sealed around the patient’s face for the duration of the treatment for proper function. Our product has currently the only existing nebulizer that is connected to a compressor and can release the aerosol from above. It employs a unique mechanism that filters the droplets
to allow only very small size to exit the nebulizer (droplets size: 2 micron MMD). The unique design of the cup enables almost full use of the drug without leaving an unused portion in the nebulizer.
The main advantages of our products are:
|
§ |
Currently most suitable and practical solution for newborns; |
|
§ |
Direct delivery of inhaled medications to patients in a safe, easy and effective way; |
|
§ |
No physical contact with patients; |
|
§ |
Can be used when infant/patient is awake or asleep; |
|
§ |
High level of patient's comfort and treatment acceptance; |
|
§ |
Sole touch-free solution available; |
|
§ |
Increased mother’s comfort level and peace of mind; |
|
§ |
The product is fully compatible with compressors that can be found on the market. |
|
§ |
Very economic in medication usage, compared to most existing solutions. |
Our Strategy
Our goal is to become a leading manufacturer and seller of products for treatment of respiratory conditions in infants, elderly people and other feeble patients. In order to accomplish this objective, we plan to:
|
· |
Grow Market Awareness to our solution. Our marketing approach is focused on educating physicians and patients about the benefits and efficacy of our system. We believe that we can continue to grow our revenues and maintain strong gross margins by increasing product utilization
rates. |
|
· |
Continue to develop our products. We are seeking to use our technology platform for the development of WiseAir for the treatment of elderly people and feeble patients. We are engaged in research and development activities to develop such product and we intend to pursue regulatory
clearance in the United States and elsewhere to market it. |
|
· |
Establish significant distribution channel. We are now in the midst of negotiations with distributors in over 30 countries (mainly in Europe) with the intention to establish and create solid distribution channels and strengthen our ability to penetrate local markets and significantly enhance our
ability to sell our products worldwide. |
40
|
· |
Pursue reimbursement for our products. We believe that a significant factor in increasing the utilization rates and gaining broader acceptance for our products depends on the level of reimbursement available therefor. In the United States, reimbursement coverage determinations
are made by a large number of third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurance plans and health maintenance organizations. We intend to devote significant resources to expanding reimbursement coverage for BabyAir and WiseAir. |
|
· |
Enhance our intellectual property portfolio. We intend to continue to invest in research and development and to seek patent protection in key jurisdictions for our products. Using our design experience and clinical data obtained as a result of usage of our product. We believe
that this is the principal method for us to continue to compete with traditional treatments of respiratory conditions. |
Our Marketing Strategy
The following chart demonstrates the marketing strategy we intend to employ in order to increase sales of our products worldwide:
In order to establish a firm brand identity for our products we intend to engage in the following activities:
|
§ |
Participation in clinical trials at Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) health care sites in the US and Europe and publish peer review articles to create acceptance by the Pediatric community; |
|
§ |
Participation in medical device exhibitions; |
|
§ |
Participation in Scientific meetings focused on respiratory care; |
41
|
§ |
Advertising in medical magazines; |
|
§ |
“Networking” with leading voluntary Associations in the pulmonary and respiratory arena (such as Lung USA or Asthmatic Patients) to potentially exercise lobbying activities at the market entry stage; |
Once the brand has become sufficiently recognized, we intend to launch an advertising and marketing effort directly to the private and institutional sector in conjunction with our distributors.
U.S. Government Regulation
FDA Clearance and Regulation of our Products
In 2006, we received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market BabyAir in the United States.
Generally, any new medical device that we wish to commercially distribute in the United States will likely require either 510(k) clearance or premarket application approval from the FDA prior to commercial distribution. 510(k) clearance or amendment to premarket application is also required when a change is made to a legally
marketed device or to expand the product label.
510(k) Clearance Process. Generally, to obtain 510(k) clearance, an applicant must submit a premarket notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent in intended use and in safety and effectiveness to a “predicate
device” – either a previously 510(k) cleared device or a preamendment device for which the FDA has not called for premarket applications. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from four to 12 months, but it can last longer. After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, requires a new 510(k) clearance or could even require a premarket
application approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision. If the FDA disagrees with the determination, the agency may retroactively require the manufacturer to seek 510(k) clearance or premarket application approval. The FDA also can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or premarket application approval is obtained.
De Novo Classification. If the FDA denies 510(k) clearance of a device because it is novel and an adequate predicate device does not exist, the “de novo classification” procedure can be invoked
based upon reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. This procedure approximates the level of scrutiny in the 510(k) process but may add several months to the clearance process. If the FDA grants the request, the device is permitted to enter commercial distribution in the same manner as if 510(k) clearance had been granted.
Premarket Application Approval Process. If the FDA denies 510(k) clearance for a product, and denies de novo classification, the product must follow the premarket application approval process, which requires proof of the safety and effectiveness of the device to the
FDA’s satisfaction. A premarket application must provide extensive preclinical and clinical trial data and also information about the device and its components regarding, among other things, device design, manufacturing and labeling. After approval of a premarket application, a new premarket application or premarket application supplement is required in the event of a modification to the device, its labeling or its manufacturing process. The premarket application approval
pathway is much more costly, lengthy and uncertain. It generally takes from one to three years or longer.
Anti-Kickback and False Claims Laws.
In the United States, there are federal and state anti-kickback laws that prohibit the payment or receipt of kickbacks, bribes or other remuneration intended to induce the purchase or recommendation of healthcare products and services. Violations of these laws can lead to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from participation
in federal healthcare programs. These laws constrain the sales, marketing and other promotional activities of manufacturers of medical devices such as us, by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements (including sales programs) we may have with hospitals, physicians and other potential purchasers of the medical devices. Other provisions of state and federal law provide civil and criminal penalties for presenting,
or causing to be presented, to third-party payors for reimbursement, claims that are false or fraudulent, or which are for items or services that were not provided as claimed. Since we may provide coding and billing advice to purchasers of our products, and since we cannot be sure that the government will regard any billing errors as inadvertent, we could be subject to an enforcement proceeding in a case where our advice was deemed to have caused the submission of improper claims.
42
Regulation in Europe
Commercialization of medical devices in member countries of the Europe Union is regulated by directives adopted by the European Union. The European Union presently requires that all medical products bear the CE mark, an international symbol of adherence to quality assurance standards and demonstrated clinical effectiveness. Compliance
with the Medical Device Directive, as certified by a recognized European Competent Authority, permits the manufacturer to affix the CE mark on its products. We currently hold an authorization to affix the CE mark on our BabyAir product.
If we modify our product, we may need to apply for permission to affix the CE mark to it. Additionally, we will need to apply for a CE mark for any new products that we may develop in the future including the WiseAir. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain permission to affix the CE mark for new or modified products
or that we will continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the permissions that we receive. If we are unable to maintain permission to affix the CE mark to our products, we will no longer be able to sell our products in member countries of the European Union.
Regulation in Other Countries
In order for us to market our products in countries other than the United States, we must obtain regulatory approvals and comply with extensive safety and quality regulations in these countries. These regulations, including the requirements for approvals or clearance and the time required for regulatory review, vary from
country to country. Failure to obtain regulatory approval or clearance in any foreign country in which we plan to market our product may harm our ability to generate revenue and harm our business.
In all of the countries in which we are currently selling our products we have either received regulatory approval or been informed that approval is not required. In addition, we are seeking regulatory approval in.
Third Party Reimbursement
Reimbursement in the United States
In the United States, healthcare providers that purchase medical devices generally rely on third-party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurance plans and health maintenance organizations, to reimburse all or a portion of the cost of the devices, as well as any related healthcare services utilizing the devices. FDA
clearance does not necessarily result in coverage and reimbursement by third-party payors.
Coding. Generally, a current procedural terminology, or CPT, code is necessary to facilitate claims for reimbursement. If a procedure is not covered by an appropriate existing code, an application for a new code can be made to the American
Medical Association. This process can be lengthy, however, typically taking two or more years before the new code is effective. In the meantime, claims may be submitted using a miscellaneous CPT code or using a G-code, if one is established by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS.
Reimbursement Coverage. A payor’s decision to cover a device or medical procedure is independent of the coding process, although the existence of an appropriate CPT code and APC may assist in obtaining coverage. Generally, payors may
deny coverage if they determine that a procedure was not reasonable or necessary as determined by the payor, was experimental or was used for an unapproved indication. During the past several years, the major third-party payors have substantially revised their reimbursement methodologies in an attempt to contain their healthcare reimbursement costs.
43
Reimbursement Rates. Even if a device or medical procedure is covered, reimbursement rates must be adequate for providers to use it routinely. Reimbursement rates vary depending on the third-party payor and individual insurance plan
involved, the procedure performed and other factors. Medicare reimbursement for inpatient hospital services is based on a fixed amount per admission based on the patient’s specific diagnosis. As a result, any illness to be treated or procedure to be performed in an inpatient setting will be reimbursed only at a prescribed rate set by the government that is known in advance to the hospital. If the treatment cost is less, the hospital is still reimbursed for the entire fixed
amount; if it costs more, the hospital cannot bill the patient for the difference. Many private third-party payors and some state Medicaid programs have adopted similar prospective payment systems. In addition, Medicare has implemented prospective payment systems for some services performed in hospital outpatient departments and skilled nursing facilities as well. The Medicare payment system for outpatient services allows for more separate reimbursement for individual services
than the inpatient system.
Coverage Outside the United States
In countries outside the United States, coverage is obtained from various sources, including governmental authorities, private health insurance plans, and labor unions. In some foreign countries, private insurance systems may also offer payments for some therapies. Although not as prevalent as in the United States,
health maintenance organizations are emerging in certain European countries. Coverage systems in international markets vary significantly by country and, within some countries, by region. Coverage approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country or region-by-region basis.
Our Reimbursement Strategy
We hired a reimbursement consulting company to assess and design the optimal reimbursement strategy to facilitate our sales plan. We intent to prepare and submit an analysis (value story) that demonstrates clinical and economic benefits for the hospital, when using the product for its inpatients, instead of currently available
alternatives. We also intend to employ the resources to make sure BabyAir and WiseAir are compliant with CPT codes. There is also a possibility that existing Coding Systems and Coverage Policies for the patient’s home setting could be immediately utilized, but the expected rates from such coverage may not support our business model. We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain any additional approvals in a timely manner or at all.
Intellectual property
We were granted two patents for BabyAir, which covers the "up side down Nebulizer", the device that transports the medicine, as well as the hood. In addition we have other applications in the process of examination. The status of our patent filing process worldwide is presented in the following table:

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
Our Company was incorporated in Maryland in July 2009. We incorporated our Company to acquire a company called Baby’s Breath Ltd. an Israeli company founded in 2001 by a group of leading physicians and highly experienced professionals that developed a patented medical devise for the treatment of repertory diseases.
On September 7, 2009 we acquired Baby’s Breath, Ltd. In a stock for stock trade at a 1:200 ratio whereby we issued 6,280,600 shares of our common stock for 31,403 shares in Baby’s Breath, Ltd. As a consequence, Baby’s Breath, Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company and the shareholders of Baby’s
Breath Ltd. Became 96.98% of the total shareholders in our Company.
Since inception, we have been unprofitable. We incurred net losses of $191,563 for the fiscal year ended 2008, $199,666 for the fiscal year ended 2007 and a net loss of $81,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,065,386. Our limited history of operations makes prediction
of future operating results difficult. We believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.
We are currently in the process of strengthening our distribution channels. We achieved our first billable shipment in 2003 and are hopeful to receive several orders for the U.S. market during the second half of 2009. Since our FDA clearance to sell our FMS product was only received on February 22, 2006 it is too early
to know with a high degree of confidence how quickly, and in what amounts, new orders will develop.
Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on our ability to sell BabyAir and related products now that FDA final clearance has been obtained. We expect that we will require additional funding to finance operating expenses and to enter the international marketplace.
We have funded our operations to date in accordance with the schedule below:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Developments
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented, as well as our disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill,
useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation.
We base our estimates and assumptions on our historical experience and on various other information available to us at the time that these estimates and assumptions are made. We believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for our making judgments about the carrying values
of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and outcomes could differ from our estimates.
Our significant accounting policies are described in the Note titled ‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policie’s, in Notes to Financial Statements of this Form S-1. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies
and reflect those areas that require more significant judgments, and use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a cash balance of $14,791 as of December 31, 2008 and $13,989 as of June 30, 2009. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of December 31, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of $983,552, and as of June 30, 2009 our accumulated deficit was $1,065,386. We have not achieved profitability and anticipate that we will
continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our expenses will increase, and as a result we will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability.
To date, our operations have been funded through investments in our shareholders equity (totaling in $931,322) and through grants received from the OCS (totaling in $268,029).
As of December 31, 2008, we had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $86,133 and liabilities of $123,640 as of June 30, 2009.
Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Net cash used in operating activities was $164,796 for 2008 as compared with net cash used of $67,597 for 2007. The increased use of cash was due primarily to an increase in shareholders loans and accrued expenses.
Cash flows used in investing activities was $287 for 2008 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $1,538 for 2007.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $167,881 for 2008 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $31,585 for 2007. The increase in 2008 was primarily the result of receipt on amount of shares.
Six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Net cash used in operating activities was $21,800 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $116,529 net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June, 2008. The additional cash used in the 2009 period was primarily due accrued expenses.
48
We believe that we have sufficient funds to satisfy our obligations through the third quarter of 2009.
We expect to continue to depend upon outside financing to sustain our operations for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to arrange financing from third parties will depend upon our operating performance and market conditions. Our inability to raise additional working capital at all or to raise it in a timely
manner would negatively impact our ability to fund our operations, to generate revenues, and to otherwise execute our business plan, leading to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately forcing us to go out of business. Should this occur, the value of any investment in our securities could be adversely affected, and an investor could lose a portion of or even lose their entire investment.
Commitments and Contingencies
Effective June 30, 2009, we had bank debts, trade payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, shareholders loans and accrued severance pay owed.
Our contractual obligations consisted of the following as of June 30, 2009.

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets currently consist solely of patent costs. These assets are not subject to amortization until the property patented is in production. The assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and impairment losses, if any, are charged to operations when identified. No impairment losses have been
identified by management to date.
Income Tax Expense
The Company provides for deferred taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, as well as differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The major temporary differences are net operating losses. Due to historical losses on the accrual basis, the related tax assets are not recorded in our financial statements.
Stock Options
We have an undertaking to grant to our CEO, under a stock option plan to be adopted by us for that purpose, a total of 259,051 options which will be exercisable into our shares of Common Stock (an amount of shares of Common Stock that constitute approximately 4% of our outstanding share capital prior to the registration). In
addition we currently have available for additional grant to our employees, subject to the approval of our Board, up to 129,525 options which will be exercisable into our shares of Common Stock (an amount of shares of Common Stock that constitute approximately 2% of our outstanding share capital prior to the registration). Unless agreed otherwise by the Board the granted options shall generally be equally vested over a period of 3 years such that at the end of each year 1.33% of the entire amount of granted options
shall become vested.
The options to our Israeli employees may be granted under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance pursuant to which the options or the shares of Common Stock issued upon their exercise must be deposited with a trustee for at least two years following the end of the calendar year in which the options are granted. Under Section 102
(1) any tax payable by an employee from the grant or exercise of the options is deferred until the transfer of the options or the shares by the trustee to the employee or upon the sale of the options or ordinary shares, (2) gains are subject to capital gains tax of 25%; under the tax rules governing these options, we do not receive a tax deduction in respect of the issuance or exercise of the options.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.
Dividend Policy
We follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. We have not paid, and do not expect to declare or pay, cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party is or in which to our knowledge any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to
the Company. The Company's property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
50

officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using "beneficial ownership" concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
New Air Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of New Air Inc. (“the Company”) as of August 31, 2009 and the related statements of changes in Stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception (July 10, 2009) to August 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New Air Inc. as of August 31, 2009 and its cash flows for the period ended August 31, 2009 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 of the financial statements, the Company was established specifically for the acquisition of Baby’s Breath Ltd., whose financial statements have negative financial indicators which raises substantial
doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, there is a substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans regarding these matters are also described in note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
D – Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”). The adoption of FAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingencies,
non-controlling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination, and expands disclosure requirements surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. Key changes include: acquired in-process research and development will no longer be expensed on acquisition, but capitalized and assessed for impairment where relevant and amortized over its useful life; acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred; restructuring costs will generally be expensed in periods after the acquisition
date; the consideration in shares would be valued at the closing date; and in the event that a deferred tax valuation allowance relating to a business acquisition, including from prior years, is subsequently reduced, the adjustment will be recognized in the statement of income. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this Statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This Statement
improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS No. 160 will have material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161, which is effective the first quarter of fiscal 2010 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company does
not anticipate that this new accounting standard will have an impact on the financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”), which clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises.
The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, including interim periods in that year. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
D – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued):
FASB Statement No. 164, “Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions,” governs the information that a not-for-profit entity should provide in its financial reports about a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses or nonprofit activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 164 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.165, “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. SFAS 166 requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. SFAS 166 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The Company does not expect SFAS 166 to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. SFAS 167 requires an additional reconsideration event when determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a
group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFS 167 shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting
period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect SFAS 167 to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
Following SFAS 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September
15, 2009. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Company does not expect SFAS 168 to have a material effect on its financial statements.
E - Comprehensive income:
Comprehensive income, net of related taxes where applicable, includes, in addition to net income: (i) currency translation adjustments; (ii) unrealized holding gain and losses on available-for-sale securities; (iii) gain in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge and (iv) additional minimum pension liability. The
Company has no "other comprehensive income".
Note 3 - Accrued Liabilities
The accrued liabilities of the Company comprise legal and professional fees.
Note 4 - Subsequent events
A - Acquisition agreement of September 2009
On September 7th,2009 the Company has entered into a stock purchase and sale agreement (the "acquisition agreement"), under which the Company issued 6,280,600 shares for 31,403 shares in Baby’s Breath, Ltd. As a consequence Baby’s Breath Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of the company and the former shareholders of Baby’s
Breath now control 96.98 % of the total shares in the company. This transaction will be accounted for as a recapitalization with Baby’s Breath deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The agreement also includes provisions which would govern the rights and liabilities of the Company's shareholders until the completion of the registration of the Company shares for trading.
B – Issuance of shares
Subsequent to the period ended August 31th, 2009, the Company issued 115,996 common stock to private investors for proceed in the amount of $79,500.
C – Subsequent events
Subsequent events have been evaluated on October 16th, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Baby’s Breath Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Baby’s Breath Ltd. Inc. (A Company incorporated in the State of Israel) as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December
31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baby’s Breath Ltd. Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 of the financial statements, the Company has not generated significant revenue since its incorporation, has accumulated significant losses and further losses are anticipated and has a working capital
deficiency. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the cost of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 – General and Going concern
Baby's Breath, LTD ("The Company") was originally organized as an Israeli limited liability company in 2001. The Company specializes in development, manufacturing and distribution of inhalation technologies under the name BabyAir.
Currently, the Company's principal product includes an inhalation product - marketed under the trade name "BabyAir". BabyAir provides an innovative solution for the delivery of drugs through inhalation without using a facemask for children under the age of two years. The Company has completed the development of BabyAir and has begun marketing
it in Europe. The Company is already working on new products that are based on the same technology, for wider markets and applications. The Company's products are mainly sold from September to December, due to a high demand for inhalation products in that period.
BabyAir has been granted CE certification for medical device class from the European Union (until the year 2014) and has FDA approval in the US. The Company has also a certification for medical device class from the Health Technology and Infrastructure Administration of Israel.
The Company is under going a registration process of its ordinary shares on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), under the form of S-1.
The results of operations for the six-months period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company's total deficit as of December 31,2008 and as of June 30, 2009 is in the amount of $ 983,552
and $1,065,386 respectively. The continuing activity of the Company as a going concern depends on raising money, as mentioned above.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis accounting which contemplates continuity of operation, realization of assets, liabilities, and commitments in the normal course of business. As of 31 December 2008 and 2007 and as of June 30, 2009 the Company has a working capital deficit and has incurred
significant losses since inception. Further losses are anticipated which raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustment that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to acquire sufficient capital by raising funds both internally and externally.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A- Basis of Reporting
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
B- Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable
based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates were used in the assessment of accrued warranty and to calculate the fair value of its stockholders' loans.
C-Functional Currency
Most of the Company's expenses and revenues are denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s management believes that the U.S. Dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar.
The company’s books and records are maintained in New Israeli Shekel (NIS).Transactions in U.S. dollars are translated to NIS at the dates those transactions take place. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in selling, general and administrative expense. For year end reporting purpose, the financial statements
are remeasured to U.S. dollars using the temporal method. Accordingly exchange adjustments arising in the remeasurement process are included in the determination of income.
D- Cash and Cash equivalents
Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value.
E- Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using a "first-in first-out" method. The inventory's cost was calculated due to the cost of manufacturing features, including the delivery and transportation costs. Inventories consist only of finished goods.

F- Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of the manufacturing moulds, which were purchased from a related party, was determined at market value at the purchasing day, (including transportation
and assembly). Annual rates of depreciation (%):

G- Impairment of long lived assets
The Company reviews its assets for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company has no impairment for the year ended December 31,2008 and 2007 and the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
H - Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenues primarily from the sale of products. Revenue is recognized when title risk and reward for product are transferred to the customer. Revenues are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulleting ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", when the following criteria are met: persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the selling price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. The Customer has no right of retur to company after the date on which products are delivered other than pursuant to warranty obligations. All of the Company’s products sold through agreements with distributors are non-exchangeable, non-refundable, non-returnable
and without any rights of price protection or stock rotation. Revenue is presented net of warranty cost.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company generally provides a warranty period of 12 months, at no extra charge. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the historical
and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary. The Company estimates its warranty accrued as 2% of revenues.

I- Research and development expenses, net
Research and development expenses include costs of salaries and related expenses, activities related to intellectual property, research materials and suppliers and equipment depreciation. All the research and development expenses less grants which were received prior to fiscal 2007 from the Office of the Chief Scientist Israel (OCS), are
charged to operations.
J- Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash and cash equivalents were deposited with Israelis banks. In general, the exposure of the Company to credit risk relating to trade receivables is immaterial due to the fact
that consideration is usually fully collected before delivery of the goods to the customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined upon a specific review with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and, June 30, 2009 and 2008, the amount of the allowance is NIL. In certain circumstances, the
Company may require letters of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees. When uncertainty of collectability exists, the Company defers revenue recognition until collection.

K -Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term bank debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses and stockholders’ loans approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
L-Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for carry
forward losses. Deferred taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized under SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognizing, interest and penalties, and disclosure. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2009 in accordance with FSP FIN 48-3. In the initial application there was no material difference between the provisions of SFAS 5 and FIN 48, therefore no adjustment was recorded to the retained earnings. The Company
recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expenses.
M – Severance pay
The Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. Severances pay expense
for the period ended December 31 2008, 2007 and June 30,2008: amounted to NIL and for the period ended June 30, 2009 - amounted to $ 1,471.
N – Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income, net of related taxes where applicable, includes, in addition to net income: (i) currency translation adjustments; (ii) unrealized holding gain and losses on available-for-sale securities; (iii) gain in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge and (iv) additional minimum pension liability. The
Company has no "other comprehensive income".

O – Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance to FASB statement No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS No. 123(R)"). The Company will estimate the fair value of employee stock options using Blak-Scholes valuation model and values restricted stock units ("RSUs) based on the market value of the
underlying shares at the date of grant. The Company will amortize compensation costs using the graded vesting attribution method. There is no vesting at the balance sheet date.
P – Segmented information
The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable segment. Total revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the customers. The related data is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No. 131”).
Q – Shipping and handling costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administration expenses.
R – Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributed to common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or
loss attributed to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potential dilutive common shares, which comprise convertible personanel debentures, restricted shares and optional granted to employees.
S – Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”). The adoption of FAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingencies, non-controlling interests
and goodwill acquired in a business combination, and expands disclosure requirements surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. Key changes include: acquired in-process research and development will no longer be expensed on acquisition, but capitalized and assessed for impairment where relevant and amortized over its useful life; acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred; restructuring costs will generally be expensed in periods after the acquisition
date; the consideration in shares would be valued at the closing date; and in the event that a deferred tax valuation allowance relating to a business acquisition, including from prior years, is subsequently reduced, the adjustment will be recognized in the statement of income. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this Statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This Statement
improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS No. 160 will have material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161, which is effective the first quarter of fiscal 2010 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company does
not anticipate that this new accounting standard will have an impact on the financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”), which clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises. The standard is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, including interim periods in that year. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
FASB Statement No. 164, “Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions,” governs the information that a not-for-profit entity should provide in its financial reports about a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses or nonprofit activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 164 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.165, “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. SFAS 166 requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result
of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. SFAS 166 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The Company does not expect SFAS 166
to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. SFAS 167 requires an additional reconsideration event when determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a
group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary

of a variable interest entity. SFS 167 shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period,
and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect SFAS 167 to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
Following SFAS 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September
15, 2009. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting
literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Company does not expect SFAS 168 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Note 8- Stockholders' loans (continued)
Imputed interest on those loans has been charged a rate of 5% representing a reasonable estimated of the market rate with a credit to paid in capital.
Note 9 - Share capital
The Company's equity includes ordinary shares from three types A, B and C. Stock A holders are entitled to 60% of all dividends and stock B holders are entitled to 40%, until $500 thousand dollars have been paid to stock A holders. Once stock A holders have received dividends amounting to $500 thousand, stock A holders will not have the
right to receive any additional dividends up until stock B holders have received dividends as follows: Life Support Ltd. received all of their investment proceeds, stockholders' loans and suppliers' credit and Rammport Finance Ltd. received its investment proceeds.
Following the payments of the above amounts, stock A holders will have the right to receive 60% of all further dividends only after due payments are made to stock C holders.
This holds true for a period totaling four years since the above is fulfilled. If within this period, not all of the company's profits are distributed via dividends, then at the first distribution of dividends, A stock holders will receive 60% and B holders 40% after deducting distributions to stock C holders. Following the distribution
as explained above, both A and B stock will be ranked pari passu in regards to dividend distribution. Deferred
stock has no dividend rights. A and B stock holders rank pari passu in regards to voting rights. C stock and deferred stock holders do not have any voting rights.
In March 2007, the Company's board of directors decided to transfer 8,453 shares type B from 10,000 stock held in trust to Life Support, in respect of its investments in the Company. The remaining 1,547 shares are issued but still held in trust. Accordingly, these shares have not been included in the computation of the weighted average
number of shares.
In July 2009 the shareholders of the Company resolved to consolidate all the share capital of the Company into ordinary shares and Company agreed on a new cap table regarding to its stockholders equity (See note 18- Subsequent events).

Note 14 - Government grants
The Government of Israel, through OCS, encourages Research and Development projects that result in products for export. The Company received grants of approximately $268,029 from the OCS through December 31, 2005, which were used to fund its initial product development. Pursuant to the terms of these grants, repayment is done exclusively
by way of royalties as follows: a rate of 3.0% and 3.5% of revenues derived from sales of products funded with these grants, up to 100%-150% of certain grant amounts received.
In the event that a project funded by the Office of the Chief Scientist does not result in the development of a product that generates revenues, the Company would not be obligated to repay the grants which the Company received for the product's development. The maximum contingency liability for the OCS is $268,029. The terms of the grant
also require that the know-how derived from research and development funded by the OCS may not be transferred to third parties without the approval of the OCS. The Company is required to present to the OCS bi – annual reports in respect of its revenues and the corresponding royalties – as of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2008 and 2007; and for the period of six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Note 15 – Income on taxes (In US Dollars)
a. The Company has income tax assessments which are considered final through 2003. The Company has accumulated tax losses amounting to 179,000 $ as of December 31, 2008, approximately. Deferred taxes in respect of these losses have not been included in the accompanying Company's balance sheet due to the uncertainty in their realization.
b. The Company is subject to the Israeli income tax regulations. Under these regulations the Company's tax rate is as follows: in 2007: 29%, in 2008: 27%, in 2009: 26% and in 2010: 25%. In 2011: 24%, in 2012: 23%, in 2013: 22%, in 2014: 21%, in 2015: 20%, and from 2016 onwards the tax rate will be 18%.
c. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts deductible for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company deferred tax assets are as follows in US Dollars:

(*) Carry forward losses can be utilized with no expiration date.
The valuation allowance for deferred income taxes relates primarily to the uncertainty of utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards, which are dependent on the future profitability of the Company.
Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carry forwards and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

A. The Company's product lines are distributed to retail channels either through distributors or through direct delivery. The Company generally maintains sufficient inventories to meet customer orders as received. From time to time, the Company may experience back orders that result from variations
in demand for products outside of its control or expectations. The Company has an exclusive distribution agreement in Italy.
B. In April, 2007 the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with a third party manufacturer “Suko Investment & Manufacturing Limited” (Suko). According to this agreement Suko will manufacture the Baby's Breath products for the Company according to the terms agreed
in the agreement which includes packing and shipping services. In addition, according to the agreement any rejected parts will be replaced by Suko with no charge, up to 3% of total shipment, with QA test as required.

According to this agreement Microdel will restrurcture the capital whereby the company will become a wholly- owned subsidiary of a newly incorporated U.S. holding company. Following this transaction, the U.S. holding company expects to seek a listing and offering of its shares
in the U.S.A. where it is expected that the majority of the proceed will come from institutional investors. The Company and Microdel have agreed that the total monies (in cash and monetary equivalent) that Microdel invested in the Company, as of the date upon which the agreement was signed, amounted of $314,000, including $100,000 in moulds whose production was funded by Microdel. In exchange for Microdel’s investment in the Company, Microdel shall be entitled to 375 ordinary shares in the Company, subject
to certain provisions taking into account Microdel's undertaking to assume costs and expenses which were incurred to obtain a listing and offering.
Microdel undertook to assume all of the registration expenses, without exception. Notwithstanding the above, following the success of the registration, the Company shall assume the expenses which were incurred to obtain a listing and offering.
Microdel shall finance the cost of employing the personnel hired to work for the Company. The sum of the amount of funding for the interim period April- November 2009 in the amount of $80,000 (but not including funding for personnel and service providers hired) shall be considered as an investment by Microdel for which the Company

The accompanying Pro-Forma consolidated balance sheet presents the balance sheets of New Air and Baby's Breath as if the acquisition of Baby's Breath by New Air occurred on June 30, 2009 and reflects the balance sheets as of August 31, 2009 (as if New Air was in existence as of June 30, 2009) for New Air and June 30, 2009 for Baby's Breath
respectively. The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet and notes are presented for information purpose only and do not profess to represent what the balance sheet would have been had the transaction in fact occurred on the date indicated.
For accounting purposes, the transaction is being accounted for as a recapitalization of Baby's Breath with the issuance of shares for the net assets of New Air.
The unaudited consolidated Pro-Forma balance sheet should be read in consideration with the unaudited financial statements of Baby's Breath as at June 30, 2009, the audited financial statements of Baby's Breath as at December 31, 2008, and the unaudited financial statements of New Air as at August 31, 2009.

other information accompanying the registration statement. No income statements are included as New Air had no operation and the income statement of Baby's Breath for the year ended December 31, 2008, and for the six months period ended June 30, 2009, as included in the registration statement would reflect the consolidated operation.

The laws in the State of Maryland under the Maryland Corporations and Association Section § 2-418(b) states:
A corporation may indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that the act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding; and was committed in bad faith; or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or the director actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. It further states that the indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. However, if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be
made in respect of any proceeding in which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this subsection. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption
that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.
112
A corporation may not indemnify a director or advance expenses under this section for a proceeding brought by that director against the corporation, except for a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under this section; or if the charter or bylaws of the corporation, a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation, or
an agreement approved by the board of directors of the corporation to which the corporation is a party expressly provide otherwise.
A director may not be indemnified in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received.
Unless limited by the charter, an officer of the corporation shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided for a director and shall be entitled, to the same extent as a director.
Since July 2009 and through September 2009 we issued a total of 195,677 shares of our common stock to investors. All such securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.
In September 7, 2009 we have issued 6,280,600 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Baby’s Breath pursuant to the acquisition agreement under which we purchased 100% of the outstanding share capital of Baby’s Breath.
There has been no other issuance of shares.

|
To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
|
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; |
|
Include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
|
For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
|
To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remains unsold at the end of the offering. |
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
|
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration
statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. |
|
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. |
114
|
For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
|
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
115
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements of filing on Form S-1 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the Town of New Haven, State of Connecticut on October
16, 2009.
